The GNLP’s approach to providing choice and flexibility in terms of housing growth by accommodating 22% more homes than are needed, is supported.
The buffer will help maintain the supply and delivery of housing in accordance with the NPPF and specifically the Government’s objective of encouraging authorities to consider more growth than required to meet local housing need, particularly where there is potential for significant economic growth.
The proposed Settlement Hierarchy is fully supported. The identification of Village Clusters as a location for development ensures that a proportion of forecast growth is distributed to sustainable locations in rural areas; an approach that ensures the provision of choice and will assist in enhancing and maintaining the vitality of rural communities. Accordingly, it is wholly appropriate and consistent with Government Guidance that Village Clusters should be identified as the preferred location to accommodate 9% of the housing growth during the period to 2038.
On this basis, the proposed Policy is considered to be sound.
